Hello, this is a pretty last minute request for advice for the WG but I would truly appreciate any advice you may have. For context, it is due tomorrow.

Okay that has reassured me! I did the Freshfields first year scheme and checked to see when they sent the WG for that. They sent it 2-4 weeks after the initial application which is promising- BobThebIlly
